Cowboys Lassoing the Ballet.

Cowboys Lassoing the Ballet,
From the Kansas City Star.
One OF the variety theatres at Dodge
City had for an attraction q COM
pany composed of gaudy -stockinged
blondes. The performance was awful
in its Indebtedness, and in no time the
boys got uneasy and the whiskey in
them began TO call for fun. Joe ,Hooke
rose gravelv, called the performance
to a halt, and asked for the manager.
That impressive gentleman came into
sight on the stage and asked what
was wanted. Joe told. him that a
show, to be q success, should be plen-
tifully sprinkled with local talent.
The manager -haughtily declined Joe's
offer '"to speak q piece" but his indig.
nation was soon cut short by the
whizzing of a lariat and q stern re.
minder that any kicking would speedi,
ly be followed by strangulation.
Joe mounted the stage and ordered
the orchestra to play somethin, right
sneaky like, and began a long piece
to the effect that:

After that the performance proceed
ed until one Of the boys, takingit into
his head that the big fiddle was a nui-
sance, threw a lasso over the neck Of
it, and started for the door. The in.
strument was q complete wreck in a
